    Envious of you right now. I just put a new putter (Scotty Cameron) in my bag, but it’s been raining for days so I can’t play.
    Hit em’ straight and enjoy the weather there!

    Looks wonderful! The northern part of our state received 10 inches of snow this week and many courses down here are dealing with poor conditions due to winter kill. The envy is high looking at those photos.

    Man that is awesome.   If I may ask - how much is a round at Pinehurst?

    For the public, Green fee for #2 is $495 not including the caddie. 

    Shot a 109 on #2. Not disappointed with my score, as I was walking with stars in my eyes and we had a real stick in the mud for a caddie. Borderline rude. I hope to go back and break 100.

    The greens are incredible. The fairway play is amazing. Punishing if you don’t put the ball EXACTLY where it needs to go. Rewarding if you respect Mr Ross and the pinehurst philosophy. 

    Got an an engraved bag tag while I was there. $20. A fantastic souvenir for the trip.

    That sucks your caddy wasn’t great. I’ve played a couple times and the caddy helped make the experience that much more enjoyable. Was like having a tour guide. Telling stories and jokes.

    Agreed. Caddies make or break your experience. Best caddie I ever had was Hank Parker’s niece at Piedmont Driving Club in Atlanta.

    I have played golf on a real golf course twice in my life.  One of those was Pinehurst #2.   My company had an event there, after the 1999 US Open, so I was able to join in.  I had a great time on the course, but was sure there were many others that would have enjoyed/appreciated it more than I did.

    Guest of a member is $276 for #2 and #4 is $176.  Next time you play let me know I'll play with you and get you the cheaper rate.  Also next time ask for Nick as your caddie, he's awesome!!!!

    How about an extra day at Butt Blast 2020 and work in a golf outing?  How far is Pinehurst to the venue?
